Hi, I’m Matt, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I work with individuals and couples managing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, parenting struggles, relationship stress, addiction, and autism spectrum disorder (and more, see my list of specialties!)

Therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re not sure where to start—but taking that first step says a lot about your strength. I commend you for making the choice to search for help. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. You don’t have to have everything figured out; we’ll take it one step at a time. I’ll meet you where you are and move at your pace, offering support and guidance as you work toward feeling more balanced, capable, and connected.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner or stuck in the same patterns? Are you hoping things can get better but aren’t sure where to start?

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I work with couples and individuals who want to heal, reconnect, and find hope for their relationship. Together, we’ll work through challenges such as communication, conflict, infidelity, emotional distance, and intimacy. My goal is to help you understand what is happening in your relationship and find a healthier way forward. I hold active licenses in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah, and I offer Christian counseling for clients seeking to integrate their faith into the healing process.

My approach is warm, practical, and non-judgmental. If you’re hurting or feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Relationships can change, and healing is possible. Reaching out for help is a first step toward understanding what is happening and finding a path forward. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation, and we will get started on this journey together.

Getting honest about what you are carrying can feel like the hardest and loneliest thing you have ever done. I work with adults, teens, and older adults who are navigating recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and the big life transitions that leave you feeling stuck. A lot of the people I see have been holding things together on the outside for a long time while quietly struggling underneath. Clients often tell me they finally feel heard and understood here, without any judgment.

Therapist

Virtual • Idaho


I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.

My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
